Part 1
After returning home, Han Yue was warmly greeted by the old butler, Little Zhihan, and her beloved pets — her energetic dog who had finally recovered from his injuries, the two mischievous kittens, and the tiny baby bunny nestled comfortably on the sofa.
"Awwww~ I missed my babies so much!" Han Yue exclaimed, rushing forward to scoop the bunny into her arms as her dog barked happily and licked her cheek.
Behind her, Assistant Chen and Liu had already directed the maids to help unload the car. Soon, several maids entered the living room with armfuls of shopping bags filled with gifts — colorful toys for Zhihan, premium tobaccos, rice wines, sake, mochi, high-end snacks, and soft, adorable pajamas from Sushi Island.
The wide coffee table in the living room was quickly covered with goods, making it look like a mini department store display.
Little HanHan's eyes sparkled as he stared at the mountain of gifts. "Is this all for me?!?" he asked in disbelief, his voice squeaking in excitement.
Han Yue smiled and patted his head. "Yes, all the toys are for you! Come check if you like them. I picked them out just for you!"
She opened a few boxes of mochi and snacks, handing them out to Little Zhihan, the butler, and the nearby maids.
"As for these," she said, pointing to the alcohol, tobacco, and teas, "please put them on the dining table and let Grandpa Long and Colonel Long choose what they like later."
The butler nodded dutifully. "Yes, Miss."
She placed the sets of cute pajamas on the couch nearby. "Just leave those here. They won't break even if Zhihan throws them around a little."
The house was suddenly filled with warmth, laughter, and a festive mood as everyone gathered to admire the gifts and welcome their energetic Miss home.
Part 2
Han Yue lounged comfortably on the living room couch, surrounded by her adorable fur babies. The dog lay lazily at her feet, the two kittens curled up beside her, and the tiny bunny nestled right on her lap. All of them seemed to miss her dearly — it was a cozy, fluffy reunion.
As she relaxed, she casually opened her phone to scroll through the latest news — and nearly burst out laughing.
All over the internet, headlines screamed of chaos:
"ALIEN LOOTS MALLS IN SUSHI ISLAND!"
"ANCIENT RELICS STOLEN! IS IT JUSTICE OR CRIME?"
"SHRINES BOMBED! FIREWORKS OR REVENGE?"
Even more hilarious were the online theories. Netizens from Dragon Kingdom were surprisingly united in cheering for the mysterious "Alien" hero. Some praised the Alien for "retrieving stolen relics for justice." Others believed the Alien was a fan of novels and left behind cryptic warnings about the End of the World.

Trending everywhere were survival guides, zero yuan shopping memes, and even novel covers mimicking the drawing Han Yue had posted. Her sketch had gone viral — again!
"Pffft!" Han Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Little Zhihan, who was munching on snacks beside her, blinked and asked curiously, "Sister, did you see the aliens in Sushi Country?!"
Han Yue giggled. "Yes, I did~ They were very efficient."
As they continued playing and chatting, time passed quickly. Soon, it was already dinner time.
Long Yi, Colonel Long, and Grandpa Long arrived home together, shaking off the day's work. As they entered, the butler respectfully informed them that Han Yue had returned with gifts from her trip.
At the dining table, they admired the premium sake, rice wine, and delicate teas she had brought back.
Grandpa Long took a sip of the warm tea and asked with a faint smile, "So… who came up with the alien idea?"
With a proud little huff, Han Yue raised her chin like a peacock. "Me! I was inspired. I wanted something unique!"
Grandpa Long merely twitched his mouth and continued sipping his tea in silence.
Colonel Long raised an eyebrow. "Was that End of the World novel you were reading… a hint?"
Han Yue nodded. "It's perfect! Especially the zero yuan shopping spree part — isn't it fitting?"
He coughed lightly but continued, "What about the relics you collected? Are you planning to keep them, or turn them over?"
Han Yue glanced at him with a calm smile. "Even if I surrender them now, they'll only care for a few months. But after the apocalypse, will anyone even have the energy to chase after a few ancient artifacts?"
Colonel Long nodded in agreement. "That's true. Better to keep them."
Long Yi, who had been quietly tasting the sake, looked over and asked with a slight smile in his eyes, "Were those stylish pajamas meant for me too?"
Han Yue blinked, then smiled shyly. "Yes~ I got everyone two sets each! The quality there is so good — comfy and modest, just how I like it."
He smiled gently and thanked her. "Did you enjoy your vacation?"
Han Yue hesitated for a second, then glanced up at him with a soft blush. "It was fun… but I like being home more."
Grandpa Long raised an eyebrow with a knowing grin and took another slow sip of tea, watching the interaction unfold.
Long Yi's gaze warmed as he looked at her. "Good. Then stay home and don't run around too much."
Han Yue pouted playfully. "Fine… only a little running around."
Everyone laughed, the dining room filled with warmth, teasing smiles, and the soft clinking of tea cups.
